Electrostatic Discharge - Compaq ProLiant 5500 Setup And Installation Manual

Appendix B

Electrostatic Discharge

To prevent damaging the system, be aware of the precautions you need to
follow when setting up the system or handling parts. A discharge of static
electricity from a finger or other conductor may damage system boards or other
static-sensitive devices. This type of damage may reduce the life expectancy of
the device.
To prevent electrostatic damage, observe the following precautions:
Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in static-safe
containers.
Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at
static-free workstations.
Place parts on a grounded surface before removing them from their
containers.
Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
Always be properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive
component or assembly.
